Chapter 806: It Belongs to Seeking Far and Near

~8 min read 1,457 words

It just happens to be the Swamp King Snake's territory!

After looking around at the scenery of the first nightmare world and seeing a boundless desolate swamp, Miss Snow Woman, who was being sincerely envied by the other nightmares, couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Compared to nightmares like the Mist-Deep Forest of the Human-Faced Forest Spirits, the Mirror-Empty Azure Sea of the Green-Wave Sea Monsters, and the Boundless Desert of the Dune Giant Worms, the Desolate Reed Land opened up by the Swamp King Snake, while appearing unremarkable, was absolutely the most dangerous of the six layers of dreams.

The swamp in the nightmare world is different from reality. It does not follow the rules of the real world, but prioritizes the "sinking" imagery that belongs to the swamp in the dream. And once a swamp appears in a nightmare, it mostly represents an irresistible "sinking."

Therefore, in this boundless pitch-black swamp, except for the pure white reeds that grow taller than an adult human male, nothing can land on it. Any force in any direction will be drawn downward, and nothing can escape. And the faster it moves, the more rapid the speed of sinking downward. Nothing can be an exception.

Next, no matter which direction he moves forward, he will be swallowed by the black swamp that swallows everything in the cold and desolate wind of the Desolate Reed Land, and under the entanglement of countless aquatic reed grasses, he will be slowly dragged into the deepest part of the swamp.

Abominable human, you are finished!

Strange, her mood seems to be suddenly excited?

Glancing at the Snow Woman, whose clear face was full of joy and seemed to have regained her spirits, Li Ang couldn't help but glance at her in surprise, then asked:

"This is the nightmare world manifested by the Swamp King Snake, right? Is the Scorpio Director in this layer?"

"Humph!"

"..."

Oh right, she can choose not to answer.

Looking at the Snow Woman who turned her head away and ignored him, Li Ang simply reached out and patted her shoulder, then ordered directly:

"Forget it if you don't want to say, just take me to find him!"

"Can't find him."

Glancing at Li Ang's shoes that had already sunk into the swamp, the Snow Woman, who was full of joy, hummed:

"When I was outside, I was a bystander and could barely perceive something. Now that I've been dragged into the dream by you, it's no different from entering the Swamp King Snake's stomach. Everything around is the taste of the Swamp King Snake. How can I help you find someone?"

So, can't I reunite with the Scorpio Director immediately?

After hearing the Snow Woman's words, Li Ang, whose vision was severely blocked by the white reeds taller than a person, directly took out the sheep head and touched it.

Desolate...

Within a radius of about two kilometers, there is no trace of soul fire. In this black and white swamp that has always been blowing strange winds, there seems to be no living creature.

It seems that the Scorpio Director may not be in this layer. Even if he is, he is far away from his current position. It is estimated that it will take a not-so-short time to find him.

Thinking of this, Li Ang's brows couldn't help but furrow.

After he pulled a wave of hatred just now, once the Nightmare King gets rid of the Director's jurisdiction and enters reality, it will probably rush into the six-layer nightmare immediately to hunt him down.

As the master of nightmares, it is as simple as going home to enter the nightmare. It is too easy to find his location. 【Drunken Immortal】 may not necessarily be able to handle him.

And his biggest help is the Scorpio Director trapped in the six-layer nightmare. Only by reuniting with the Scorpio Director before the Nightmare King finds him can he truly be safe... Well... wait!

After looking at the cold-proof clothes on his body, Li Ang, who was still muddled, shuddered all over, completely recovered his sobriety, and then looked back suddenly.

It seems that it's time to race against time.

After clarifying what he should do most right now, because his vision was blocked by the white reeds as tall as a person and he couldn't see far, Li Ang directly took out the 【Witch's Broom】 that had been gathering dust for a long time and rode on it.

The scope of this nightmare world is really a bit too large, and the sheep head's soul vision cannot be fully covered. If he wants to find the traces of the Scorpio Director's activities, he can only rely on his own naked eyes to observe.

And considering that this swamp has always been blowing strong winds and the visibility is still okay, relying on naked eyes, it is estimated that he can see more than ten kilometers... Hm? What is going on?

Li Ang only ascended less than a meter, and under the pull of a strange suction force, he fell uncontrollably and fell back into the reed bushes with a thud. Li Ang, who was a bit dumbfounded by this unexpected development, tried again, and even mobilized the airflow shield of the 【Witch's Broom】 to bless it.

But the outcome this time was even more miserable than just now. He only ascended less than half a meter, and fell headfirst in the whirlpool-like pulling force, falling into the swamp and covered in mud.

Strange... is there something like a no-fly zone here?

"Don't struggle, you can't fly."

Looking at Li Ang, who had fallen twice and whose knees had sunk into the swamp, the Snow Woman, whose tear stains were not yet dry, couldn't help but hum with pleasure:

"Although you dragged me out of the snowy mountain nightmare, you are only at the level of an ordinary Level 3 Cleanup Officer, and you can't even resist my memory shielding. After entering the Desolate Reed Land, you can naturally only be bound by the rules here.

And in the Swamp King Snake's Desolate Reed Land, except for these white reeds, nothing can stay on the swamp, and the faster you move, the faster you sink. You'd better stay honestly!"

Except for the reeds, nothing can stay on the swamp?

After hearing the Snow Woman's words, Li Ang blinked, then asked back:

"So, if I weave a pair of shoes with these reeds, can I stand on the swamp?"

"Ah?"

Being asked by Li Ang's question, the Snow Woman subconsciously blinked her ice-blue eyes, and the smile on her face stiffened slightly.

Only reeds can be on the swamp, so weave a pair of shoes directly with reeds? This... this...

"Don't be stunned, get to work."

Not getting the answer from the Snow Woman, Li Ang didn't dawdle. He directly took out his small knife and cut two bundles of reeds, stuffed one of them into the Snow Woman's hand, who was full of confusion, and then asked:

"Do you know how to weave shoes?"

"No..."

"Then follow my steps!"

"..."

Looking at Li Ang, who was crossing the white reeds horizontally and vertically and really started to weave straw shoes, the Snow Woman couldn't help but feel bitter and annoyed that she shouldn't have talked too much.

However, the words spoken are like spilled water, and it is too late to regret now. Unable to resist the 【Unfair Snake Contract】, she had to learn Li Ang's technique with a face full of resentment and weave straw shoes clumsily.

Damn it! Actually let me make shoes for you... I want to weave the most prickly shoes! Step on it and hurt you to death!

Holding full of malice, the Snow Woman fiercely pulled the reeds in her hand, wishing that this thing would immediately turn into a cactus and turn the stinky feet that would step on it into a sprinkler.

However, just as she was tossing the reeds with gritted teeth, she saw Li Ang pause slightly and look at her in surprise.

"Didn't you say that except for reeds, everything else will sink?"

Looking down at the fair feet of the Snow Woman stepping on the black mud, Li Ang couldn't help but frown:

"Why can you stand on the mud swamp without sinking?"

"Why should I sink?"

The Snow Woman hummed:

"Even without the nightmare core, I am a Nightmare Messenger of the same level as the Swamp King Snake, so naturally I won't be affected by the Desolate Reed Land... You... why did you throw away the straw shoes? What are you looking at me for? Don't come over!"
